Bill Haug-@Billhaugmusic
What’s up world? Welcome to ALBOE! My name is Bill Haug (@billhaugmusic), the brainchild behind this little blog. I wanted to create a place where a few friends of mine could write about whatever, whenever. We all love reading relevant work to our interests, why not post our own thoughts in this online universe? Hopefully you like it!
Now, for a little bit about me: I am originally from New Jersey. I love NJ. I am from the part that no one thinks is real, that actually has mountains and woods. Some may call me a guy who likes to spend time outside in those woods splitting some logs to waste time. I am a musician, click here to listen: www.billhaugmusic.com. I love all kinds of music from Rock to country, but I can’t stand rap/hip-hop. I will be the first to tell you that. I’m an avid sports fan favoring the NY Yankees, NY Football Giants, and Brooklyn Nets. Basketball is definitely my favorite sport to play, and football is my favorite sport I never played.
On the Film/TV end- I am a sucker for chick-flicks. I can’t deny it. I love action, comedy, and anything with Norman Reedus. How To Lose A Guy in 10 days, My Best Friends Wedding, The Boondock Saints, and recently Zero Dark Thirty are fantastic. The one movie I know verbatim? Dumb and Dumber. I love TV. Good TV, that is. The Walking Dead, Sons of Anarchy, The Unit, and the League, and anything on MTV that is not Teen Mom related are currently up at the top of my list. I am also a major tech and social media geek and love www.mashable.com | www.marketingland.com | www.grantland.com | www.netsdaily.com and more!
Feel free to reach out to me!!

Joe Bauco-@jbagoo
How’s it hanging internet? I would like to formally welcome you to ALBOE. Last name Bauco, first name Joseph. You can follow me on twitter @Jbagoo for life altering tweets about philosophy, the arts, and the wonderful wide world of bacon. I will mainly be writing about the few things I think I have an educated opinion about. Those things are sports, business, awesomely bad movies, and current events. If you want my uninformed/not politically correct opinion about other up to date items then just tweet me suggestions.
Now I am born and raised in Bridgeport, CT (thug life) and attended Sacred Heart University for my undergraduate degree. I always had an interest in writing but was too lazy to create or pursue a forum in which I can be heard. First, I want to give credit to certain people that have been huge influences in my writing style. They are Bill Simmons, Jason Whitlock, Bomani Jones and Malcolm Gladwell. I always like to give credit where credit is due. Now, I can give you some inside into what to expect from me. I love the NBA and anything NBA related. I will defend the NBA product to the grave, and if you watch First Take then you should not even bother reading my NBA articles. I irrationally defend Tom Brady, and I irrationally hate Kobe Bryant. I will always be honest with that. My teams are the New England Patriots, Boston Celtics, Boston Red Sox, Duke Blue Devils men’s basketball, and any team that plays Notre Dame Football. I hate the Lakers, New York Giants, New York Yankees and Notre Dame Football. Oh, and Kobe Bryant again just to be safe. I like bad action movies and horrible chick flicks so I am far from perfect just like Kobe.
I will try and deliver quality work to get the reader to think outside their comfort zone. If I do comment about a social issue or politics, I will be doing it as someone who has no political party. I like to remove bias from how I look at the world and that will be reflected in my writing. I look forward to being able to contribute to ALBOE and I appreciate any and all feedback.

Hannah Ackerman-@HannahAckerman
Hi All! First off, I want to say Welcome to ALBOE! We are all so excited to share our thoughts with you and hope that all of you in the big wide Internet world will enjoy our thoughts. My name is Hannah and I graduated from Sacred Heart University with a B.A. in Media Studies. Currently, I am at SHU working on my Masters in Public Relations. I will be writing about… well, anything that’s on my mind. I have a wide range of loves in this world and I can’t wait to share them all with you… and maybe some things I don’t love so much as well ;)
I am most notoriously known for skipping from country to country most of the year. As known by many, I have one great love (most might call it an obsession)… and that’s Kenya. It is no secret that I spend most of my time there. And if I’m not physically there, then I’m talking about it, and if I’m not talking about it, then I’m thinking about it, and if I’m not thinking about it, I’m dreaming about it, and well you get the idea... I really love Kenya. I was lucky enough to have a fantasticfather who always supported me in my love for travel and philanthropy, and it was because of him I have been able to really have some great experiences around the world. In my posts I will definitely be talking about a lot of those experiences, so stay tuned!
Aside from my continuous airport visits and hunts for cheap flights, when I am home, there is nothing I like more than spending time with friends and family. With a crazy schedule (as most of us have) it’s so easy to skip out on that quality time. But trust me, take advantage of it when you can. One of my favorite things to do when I can relax with family and friends is watch movies! Big screen, Small screen, T.V. screen, computer screen, doesn’t matter, I love them all. Movies are such a great way to expand your thoughts beyond our sometimes monotonous daily routines and just dream a little. Through the art of the moving image, we dare to delve into a different world, appreciate an art or look up to a hero. As an audience, we are given a story and it is up to us to interpret it. Needless to say… I think movies are great.
I can’t wait to share my thoughts with you and in return hear from you all as well! Happy reading and hope you enjoy ALBOE.

Chris Daly-@Dalybear
Hey everybody and welcome to ALBOE! My name is Chris Daly aka @DalyBear (follow me on the twitter!), I will be reporting and giving my opinions on any exciting movie and tv news and giving reviews to the latest films coming out. I graduated Sacred Heart University in 2011 with a double major in Media Studies and Communications. Since then, I’ve been developing military training videos and videogames for the department of defense. Pretty awesome right?? I am about 95% Irish, and a mix of Scottish, British, German, and like one percent Apache (seriously lol).
In my spare time I’m just a lovable Jersey Shore kindof guy. Not the kind you see on tv, but one of the real Jersey people that aren’t shown and actually are nice people (Sorry Ronnie). I enjoy long walks on the beaches (who doesn’t love this?), play poker (I love when I flop a full house and win money, a lot of it), and going to the movies (especially blockbuster popcorn flicks). I am sadly a New York Jets fan and I’m a mix of proud and angry about being that way. I do enjoy watching the Yankees play baseball and am very curious about how this upcoming season will play out. My favorite TV shows right now are hands down The Walking Dead (because who doesn’t love zombies and actual character drama), Game of Thrones (it’s The Sopranos in Middle Earth, what’s not to love?!), Homeland (I just started watching, no one tell me anything until I’m done with the season), Arrested Development (There’s always money in the banana stand), The Office (That’s what she said), and Sons of Anarchy (motorcycles and Shakespeare equals perfect combination).
My top 5 movies of all time get changed everyday between about 20 different movies. Today’s top 5 includes The Shawshank Redemption, Dawn of the Dead (2004), The Avengers, The Good The Bad and The Ugly, and E.T. I pretty much like all genres of entertainment. I’m also really big on cheesy movies. Watching something horrible with friends could as enjoyable as last year’s Oscar winner if you can let it be. I also enjoy pretty much all different types of music. Currently some bands that I’m listening to right now are Mumford and Sons, Of Monsters and Men, The Killers, and of course The Beatles. I’m also really big into reading just about any type of fiction out there. Growing up like most of us I was really into Harry Potter. Both the books and the movies were awesome to grow up with. Game of Thrones is an incredible book series that I love reading.
I’m also a big techie. I own an iPhone 4s and just bought a macbook pro that’s really slick. I like reading about new tech stuff and movie news stories. Some websites that I read just about every day are:
www.aintitcool.com | www.comingsoon.net |www.ew.com | www.variety.com | www.reddit.com
If there’s anything you’d like to know about me, please follow me on twitter! I tweet everyday and I always respond back! So follow me @dalybear
